What kind of patient are you when you are sick?

wheel416 @wheel416 (1019) • Canada 21 Jan 09

Hi there friends, as many of you may know who read my postings regularly, I'm a frequent flyer at the hospital due to my many medical issues. I often joke that I learned to speak medical - ease along with English when I was a...

tarheel I am the best possible patient to deal with when I am sick! I don't bother anyone. i just lay down in my bed and try to get plenty of rest without bothering anyone for anything. In my mind anyway. One of the reasons my wife insists I eat so healthy and get in...

tarheel I have never actually timed them. When they get a little puffy I go ahead and drain them. There are directions on the box, but I am a man. Instructions? I don't need no stinking instructions!

tarheel I kinda saw bits and pieces of The Forbidden Kingdom, so I think he can pull it off. He di da really good job as the wise old man in that movie, so I am sure he can do a good job in the Karate Kid. Jackie Chan is a good actor. I can't imagine that he can do...

chris20 @chris20 (109) • Philippines 21 Jan 09

Which one do you prefer, coke zero or pepsi max? As we all know, both of them are zero sugar or no sugar softdrinks created by two big manufacturing firms. Indeed, There is really rivalry between the two products. Personally, I...

tarheel Ewwww! Both of those are nasty! If you are going to drink something with no calories why not just have water? At least you are not messing with the taste of something that should be really delicious. Dr. Pepper is the only diet soda that tastes most like its...

Rush Limbaugh: "I Hope Obama Fails!"

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 21 Jan 09

This is NOT a case of being "taken out of context" by the hated "liberal media"; these are his words and he's actually proud of them. http://www.republicansforobama.org/?q=node/5263 Here are his exact words; he said...

tarheel Rush Limbaugh is doing what he does best. Loudly expressing his opinions to anyone that will listen. The more unpopular his views the more outraged listeners (but listeners nonetheless) he will have. Well I look at it this way.....I am by no means a Democrat...

Is your reputation here on myLot based on the only one bad discussion you had?

SusanShayAvon @SusanShayAvon (1003) • United States 21 Jan 09

Well when I first came on here I started a discussion that got nasty. I often wonder if those people's opinions of me will ever change. I seriously doubt it but I wonder do you judge people if they have a bad discussion that you...

3cardmonte @3cardmonte (5098) 21 Jan 09

I fancy watching a movie today, is there anywhere online that I can watch movies without having to download? I live in the UK, so I cant use Hulu. But is there anywhere apart from youtube?

tarheel www.watch-movies.net That is the site that I use. I watch a lot of the newer movies as they come out so I don't have to go to the theater. It is really helpful since my wife and I do not share the same interest in movies. We use that site and the on-demand...

Should Obama have chosen better people to speak at his inauguration?

skinnychick @skinnychick (6905) • United States 20 Jan 09

tarheel Much like what happens to people that do public speaking I think this was just a bit of humor that went awry. I don't believe the spirit of it was to offend anyone, but to be as inclusive as possible of the nation. Just like all us white folks aren't racist,...

LionHeart319 @LionHeart319 (164) • Philippines 16 Jan 09

tarheel Nope. I pretty much eat whatever I like all year round. In the middle of the summer I may eat chilli, and I may eat a fruite salad in the dead of winter. I don't use that many different herbs and spices, so that certainly doesn't affect the way that I eat. I...
